In enzymology, a diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase (EC 2.7.8.2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Diacylglycerol_cholinephosphotransferase.svg/400px-Diacylglycerol_cholinephosphotransferase.svg.png)
CDP-choline + 1,2-diacylglycerol CMP + a phosphatidylcholine
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are CDP-choline and 1,2-diacylglycerol, whereas its two products are CMP and phosphatidylcholine.[1]
Classification
[edit]This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring non-standard substituted phosphate groups.
Nomenclature
[edit]The systematic name of this enzyme class is CDP choline:1,2-diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase. Other names in common use include:
- 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-m-glycerol:CDPcholine choline phosphotransferase,
- 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol cholinephosphotransferase,
- 1-alkyl-2-acetylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase,
- alkylacylglycerol choline phosphotransferase,
- alkylacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase,
- CDP-choline diglyceride phosphotransferase,
- cholinephosphotransferase,
- CPT,
- cytidine diphosphocholine glyceride transferase,
- cytidine diphosphorylcholine diglyceride transferase,
- diacylglycerol choline phosphotransferase,
- phosphocholine diacylglyceroltransferase,
- phosphorylcholine-glyceride transferase, and
- sn-1,2-diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase.
Biological role
[edit]This enzyme participates in 3 metabolic pathways: aminophosphonate metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, and ether lipid metabolism.
